    What the hell kind of accent is Eccleston supposed to be doing in this!? It starts off as that bad 1920s NY gangster accent, which is apparently what we sound like to British people, but by the end it sounds more vaguely English.


    Christopher Eccleston without the Manchester accent is like David Tennant without the hair. Just sad.

    @Jeriba: As far as I can tell, based on years of television viewing, to Britons all Americans sound like a) they're from Georgia, or b) that obnoxious tourist in that one Fawlty Towers episode who wanted the Waldorf Salad.

    @Jay042: "Didn't Trey Parker and Matt Stone already do this movie?"

    Amen to that. Both this and Transformers seem like exactly the bad action films they made fun of in Team America. They're almost so bad they're a parody themselves. Yet they're just too stupid to be funny, to me at least. Too bad they had to take down what could have been decent movies for this generation's kids based on shows for 80s generation kids. As bad as GI Joe and Transformers got at times, it still seemed more respectable than this trash.

    @TheXenos_C2F:


    I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark

    When he made Pearl Harbor

    I miss you more than that movie missed the point

    And that's an awful lot girl

    And now, now you've gone away

    And all I'm trying to say is

    Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you...


    Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?

    I guess Pearl Harbor sucked

    Just a little bit more than I miss you

    Ok...so...um...I don't know that there is a way to put this delicately, but according to IMDB she is 42 years old. How is that possible? How can she possibly...I mean...look at her...but 42? I'm stymied.

    I am seething with jealousy. There are a few people in this world that get loved for no apparent reason, and Bai Ling is one of them.


    I can't figure out if I like her or not, but I've seen everything she's done.

    I don't like Bai Ling either...


    But what I like in Crank 2 is that the movie was shot with a $3500 camera, a Canon XH-A1 prosumer camera. While their "crash cams", were the Canon HF100 that cost less than $800 these days. Very ambitious project to bring down costs! And having watched the 1080p trailer, it looks good, even with the lack of shallow depth of field.

    @Eugenia: You really think so? I saw the trailer in 1080 and wondered why a studio release looked like such crap. I didn't know they shot it with such cheap equipment, but at least the crap picture makes sense to me now.

    That picture of her with the guns reminds me of Barbarella.


    Wouldn't it be funny if Bai Ling went on to become an Academy-award winning actress like Jane Fonda?

    @Daveinva: Love both games. They do have some similiarities, but I loved them both for different reasons.


    I actually think that Dead Space the game would have made a better plot for the second Riddick movie than the Chronicles of Riddick. It turned into Sci-fi camp, and completely lost the creepy kick assitude of Pitch Black.
